Kingsville, OH
Kingsville wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Kingsville lands at the 38th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 556 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Kingsville at the 39th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Kingsville's building exposure, zone by zone
69.1% of Kingsville's 556 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 384 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 30.9% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.

Shopping for coverage in Kingsville
At the 38th national percentile, Kingsville rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Kingsville (69.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
